Many sources are reporting that Trump finally signed the pandemic relief bill:
- Trump signs stimulus and government spending bill into law, averting shutdown
- Trump Signs Pandemic Relief Bill After Unemployment Aid Lapses
- Trump signs stimulus bill ahead of government shutdown, releasing checks and aid
- Trump signs COVID relief bill amid pressure, but adds conditions
Not gonna summarize all the bits in it - it's some 5k pages of legalese gobbledygook, but I understand it continues augmented unemployment benefits, eviction suspension, funding to prevent government shutdown, and another direct cash payment.
I'm sure it also has a bunch of "porky pork", but the people are suffering, time is of essence, and it should have been done months ago.

Could I have a drug overdose?

The re debugger isn't new and innovative. There have been commercial c/c++ packages that allow you to unwind the stack, change variables, and proceed, set break points and step through execution, reverse and change thevprogram flow, etc. since the 90s. So once again, open source is decades late. >p> I was quite happy to pay for commercial development tools because I got support. Because the people working on ithwm weren't scratching an itch. And money was available to pay people to fix bugs , which most people would rather work on new stuff.
This year the app stores made over $100 billion, passing $70 billion on to developers. Apple generated 68% of that, despite having a smaller market share than android. So while android tries to pass itself as open, if you want to be able to support your product long term, that takes money. Apple is the place to be for developers, especially since they're lowering the cut on projects that make less than a million (and if you're making over a million a year, cry me a river).
The Linux distros are a mess. Too many, distro hopping is still a thing after decades. There needs to be consolidation but it won't happen. You know it, I know it, so does every user.
Progress in Linux is yet another distro, with the same packages everyone else has, yet another package manager, yet another non-intuitive UI change. The distros from the turn of the century were more intuitive.
